Crude oil prices up on tighter supply, lower US inflation

Oil prices rose on Friday on support from tighter supply amid issues in Libya and Nigeria and easing U.S. inflation, which markets hope may bring an end to interest rate hikes in the world’s biggest economy. Brent crude futures rose 27 cents, or 0.3%, to $81.63 per barrel at 0028 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 35 cents, or 0.5%, to $77.24.
U.S. consumer prices rose modestly in June at the smallest annual increase rate in more than two years as inflation continued to subside. Producer prices also barely rose in June, and the annual increase was the smallest in nearly three years. Both indicators gave markets a hope the U.S. Federal Reserve could be closer to ending its fastest monetary policy tightening campaign since the 1980s.
Protests in Libya alone could take more than 250,000 barrels of oil per day from the market, ANZ Research said. “This comes amid signs that recent cuts to supply from Saudi Arabia and Russia are biting,” it added. Saudi Arabia and Russia, the world’s biggest oil exporters, this month agreed to deepen oil cuts in place since November last year, providing further support to crude prices.
